LENDAHAND
is a 501(c)(3) organization supplying teams of workers that
provide labor and skills to Build, Serve, and Heal on construction,
teaching, humanitarian, and medical campaigns around the world.
We provide the opportunity; you provide your knowledge and
willingness to share in the work. LENDAHAND offers opportunities
for all types of laborers to include Teachers; Construction,
Medical, and Culinary Professionals; Counselors; Contractors;
and Health Service Professionals.

Bobby and Kathryn Hoyle founded LENDAHAND
in 2001. LENDAHAND has a governing Board of Directors consisting
of nine professionals. LENDAHAND is committed to the needs
of suffering humanity whether physical or spiritual. We respond
to needs as requested with the skills, talents, and resources
that are made available. As of March 2013, LENDAHAND has sent
fifty-eight Teams into Central and South
America to help Build, Serve, and Heal.

LENDAHAND
empowers people to operate in their gifts and talents. We’d
love to have you lend your hand to Build, Serve, and Heal!
Your life will never be the same as you give your time, talents,
and treasure to the needy. Join us to:

By
constructing orphanages, parsonages, school buildings,
kitchens, community centers, and churches.

Building
is most often the cornerstone of a LENDAHAND Team project.
Supplies for the project are pre-purchased, transported,
and arranged on site. Team members immediately begin pouring
concrete, laying cinder block, and erecting trusses. Local
villagers...

By
ministering
humanitarian aid and hope to the poor and hungry through
teaching and feeding.

Serving
is often done concurrently during a building project.
Teams conduct all types of exciting and unique educational
activities for local children. Teams lead children in
stories, arts and crafts, puppets, games, snacks, music,
and learning...

LENDAHAND
Teams also feed the poor with their Food Service Teams!
LENDAHAND’s dedicated food preparers, cooks, and
bottle/dish washers provide nutritious, filling, and tasty
food for children, staff, and everyone participating in
the trip...

Packing
Up

Trips
are usually ten days in length and most people use their
vacation to participate. The cost of the trip covers
all airfare, meals, lodging, insurance, and ground transportation.
If there is a language barrier, translators are provided.
Team members are responsible for immunizations, passport,
and personal fund raising.

Our
Needs

LENDAHAND
Teams constantly need school supplies, teaching materials
(in Spanish), medical supplies, dental supplies, first
aid materials, medicines (with current dates), toys, counseling
materials, construction tools, and finances. We prefer
to purchase items in-country rather than incurring the
cost of shipping or paying for an extra bag through the
airlines and customs. Purchasing items in-country also
lends support to the host and their local economy.

Our
Method

We
make the need known, for example, a construction project,
through social media and word-of-mouth. As that need resonates
with families, individuals, organizations, churches, and/or
businesses, they sponsor that need. They respond by donating
sufficient funds to cover the cost of building materials.
Those funds are sent to our in-country host to purchase
the building materials locally and have them delivered
to the construction site. LENDAHAND Volunteers who want
to participate on a Team will raise their own funds to
go build the orphanages, parsonages, school buildings,
kitchens, community centers, and churches.

Fundraising

LENDAHAND
does not directly solicit funds. However, if someone wants
to donate
directly to LENDAHAND for a specific project or campaign,
the funds are dedicated to the project which the donor
designates. If a donor desires to build a facility in
honor of, or in memory of someone, please contact us.
Your organization’s participation is very important
and always welcomed. Two organizations recently partnered
together with LENDAHAND in a Construction Campaign for
the needy in Guatemala
and the building was a great success.
